2. Description of the Related Art Phase shift masks are considered promising for high integration of memories and the like as one method of super-resolution exposure. In particular, the halftone type phase shift mask is effective for forming contact holes, and is expected to be highly practical because the finished shape, the process, and the number of data required for preparation are almost the same as those of the conventional mask. There are two types of halftone phase shift masks, a two-layer structure type and a single-layer structure type.

The two-layer structure type is composed of a metal thin film layer for controlling the transmittance and a transparent thin film layer for controlling the phase amount. A drawback of the two-layer structure type is that the upper layer is fragile in mechanical strength such as being easily peeled off in the cleaning step, and two film forming steps are required.

The single-layer structure type is described in Iwabuchi et al., Japanese Journal of Applied Physics, No. 32.
Vol. 5, pp. 5900-5902 (1993). Since the transmittance and the phase amount are controlled by one kind of thin film, the problem of mechanical strength and the problem of increasing the number of steps are solved. However, the specific transmittance and refractive index required for the phase shift effect are
Since it is extremely difficult to obtain from a thin film having a stoichiometric composition, it is necessary to adjust the composition ratio of the elements forming the thin film during film formation. The thin film thus obtained is less stable than a stoichiometric film. In addition, in etching, it is often difficult to detect the speed and the end point, and the phase error tends to increase.

Function Photo CVD is a technique for decomposing a raw material gas by a photochemical reaction to form a thin film. In the photo-CVD, the source gas is decomposed by irradiating light through the attached window to form a thin film on the substrate in the deposition chamber, but basically, the source gas exists and the A thin film can be formed in any area where is reached. Therefore, if a transparent glass substrate patterned with a film for shielding light used for photo-CVD as a window is used, a thin film can be formed only in the opening of the light shielding film.

The present invention utilizes this fact to fabricate a halftone type phase shift mask. A mask substrate on which a semi-transparent thin film that transmits only 3 to 20% of exposure light is patterned in advance is attached to the window of the photo-CVD chamber so that the patterned surface is on the inside, and a transparent thin film is formed in the chamber. The raw material gas for introducing is introduced.

T = exp (−α × t 1 ) (1) When a light having a wavelength that the raw material gas absorbs and decomposes from the back surface of the mask substrate, a transparent thin film is formed in the opening of the semitransparent thin film pattern. Although it is deposited, it does not occur because a sufficient amount of light does not reach the semitransparent thin film pattern. A halftone phase shift mask can be obtained by continuing film formation until the phase difference at the exposure wavelength of the semitransparent thin film and the transparent thin film becomes an odd multiple of the half wavelength.

(2π / λ) [(n 2 −1) t 2 − (n 1 +1) t 1 ] = (2m + 1) π (2) (m = 0, 1, 2, ...) Since the invention does not use the two-layer structure, it has sufficient resistance even in the washing step. Further, in the present invention, since the phase difference between the opening portion and the light shielding portion can be adjusted by the transparent film thickness formed in the opening portion, the selection range of the material of the semitransparent thin film is wide, the etching rate is sufficiently large, and the selection with the substrate is performed. It is possible to use Cr, Si, Al, or the like, which has a large ratio. Moreover, since the film forming rate of the transparent thin film is substantially uniform in the plane of the mask substrate, the phase error can be suppressed to a small level. Further, in the present invention, since the material having the composition ratio existing in the natural world can be used as the material of the semitransparent thin film and the transparent thin film, the change of the film quality hardly occurs and it is stable.

In the present invention, since the phase shifter and the semitransparent portion have a single layer structure, the strength against cleaning is sufficiently high. Further, in the present invention, since the phase shifter portion is stoichiometric SiO 2 and the semitransparent portion is simple substance of Si, the film quality does not change even after long-term use, and is extremely stable. The Si surface is gradually covered with a natural oxide film, but the thickness is about several tens of angstroms and does not affect the phase amount or the transmittance. Further, in the present invention, etching is required only when patterning a Si thin film, and etching can be easily performed with a high selectivity by an etchant gas such as CCl 4 .
